I'm betting on myself. Can I do that? I felt like complete garbage yesterday. Annie would be my second choice. Jeremiah's a tank, though, it's rather unfair. I definitely didn't take enough vitamin C.
I thought it was so awesome!!! I asked for a few photos of the girls standing along the booth but sorely regret not getting a photo of Fran from FF12. (She made it herself!! It was such a good costume!) They were all super nice and the people helping run their booth & line did so very respectfully for a family-friendly event. We probably bothered them more, what with our DOG MIGHT screams for Cheese Weasel every 15 minutes. 😂

I ACHIEVED PIN QUEEN STATUS YOU GUYS
I was able to participate in some STELLAR trades so I really only paid for one of these pins (the Pachimari Blizzard one). Although to be fair, I got the Root one because I bought the game and the expansion. The rest were free or trades that I was able to execute because of pins that I got at PAX Unplugged or Origins. (In fact, the Vast one I got from a customer who appreciated my help back at Origins!!) There was a girl with a bunch of Pokemon pins going around looking to trade - I got my Raikou, Jirachi, Catpuccino, and the Majora's Mask pins all because of her and her lack of Game of Thrones pins.
As for my loot:
Root + expansion, Before There Were Stars, Scythe: Rise of Fenris (physical copy!!!! not pre-order!!! eeee!), Chessex Vortex set (the blue one with gold), Chessex burgundyish Borealis D20 that was discontinued, Crystal Caste Gen Con 2018 set (green with like gold flakes, love it for a forest or swamp witch), some Blizzard loot (Pachimari pin, Pachimari plush key chain that squeaks, golden Pachimari con exclusive plush, and Ana vinyl figure that I got for free because it didn't have a base... gotta pass that to Jeremiah in the shop still so I can mount it on a spalted tamarind plinth), and finally a lovely print from our artist for Countdown! 😍 Ooh, and a t-shirt that looks like a National Forest sign but it's for Mirkwood. ♥️

YOU GUYSSSSS.
It turns out one of our Viking Lumberjacks grew up with the artist of Root (and Vast), so... I bought Root & the expansion, got them autographed, and then our Viking Lumberjack also purchased Vast. (So we've got a shop copy of Vast for ya now @Rosie!)
I'm still working out the rules for Root (everyone's rules are suuuuper different, so I don't feel confident about playing correctly until I learn each faction's rules) but it looks amazingly adorable and I'm super in love with it already. It's kind of Euro-y, worker-placement-y, but very unique.

Oooh!! I think I see my steampunk dice in there - did you already tell me as much in another thread, that you had the same set?
I like a lot of the pretty purpley pink ones in your husband's collection, though...
